In 2011, North Carolina’s economy was in tatters after years of Democrat politicians instituting policies that exacerbated fiscal mismanagement, over-taxation, and job-killing regulations. Simply put, Democrats enacted policies that created obstacles to economic growth.

The voters of North Carolina voted for a change and a new economic direction. We heard the calls for change, and we have responded by enacting commonsense reforms to unleash North Carolina’s businesses and citizens to work hard, save for their future, and invest in the next generation.

New Direction. Positive Results.

Business Climate

North Carolina is rated as a top business climate, year after year. Our commonsense legislation has created an environment of economic growth.

Tax Climate

By lowering the personal and corporate income tax rates, North Carolina is now one of the most competitive and attractive states in the US.

Business Costs

The cost of doing business in North Carolina is among the lowest in the US. We continue to find ways to streamline costs and regulations.
